## Summary

The procurement process for the "Specialist Day Services for People with Dementia" is being conducted by Tameside Metropolitan Borough Council, located in Dukinfield, England. This initiative falls under the health and social work services category and has a total value of £1,835,000. The procurement method deployed is a selective tender under a restricted procedure. The tender period concluded on 2nd June 2017, with the contract set to commence on 3rd December 2017 and lasting until 2nd December 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community social enterprises (VCSEs) seeking to expand their offerings in specialised health and social care services. Businesses that provide transportation, catering, and support services tailored to individuals with dementia would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract, as it emphasizes person-centred care and requires comprehensive support systems in both building-based and community settings.

## Notice

The service is aimed at providing daytime support and activities to those people with a diagnosis of dementia whose needs are such that they are best met by a service able to provide a level of specialist support not readily available in mainstream or other social care settings. The service will provide support to Service Users ordinarily resident in the borough. The service will utilise a single building, Wilshaw House, Ashton-under-Lyne, in delivering that part of the service that is required to be building-based. Wilshaw House is owned and maintained by the commissioner and other local authority functions may take place elsewhere within the buildings. There is no expectation that the Provider will be charged rent While part of the service will be building-based, there will also be flexible and responsive person-centred support for Service Users to access and engage with external mainstream and community facilities. This could be either in small groups or as individual integrated activities, wherever this is possible or practicable. The Provider will provide up to 140 building-based places per week as an indicative figure. Other Service Users will be supported to utilise a community day service element that would provide an additional eight day places, seven days a week, ie another 56 weekly places, giving a combined total of 196 places a week. As a consequence of the severity and progress of their dementia, some Service Users are likely to require assistance with aspects of personal care. The Provider will need to make provision for the arrangement of the safe and reliable transport of Service Users to and from the Service, where Service Users require it. The catchment area could include any part of the borough. Transport may require the use of a mini bus or mini buses of a number to be agreed, which the Provider will be responsible for providing and maintaining. Support Staff will drive and act as escort on these buses. Meals make a major contribution to Service Users' participation in and enjoyment of daily living routines. Mealtimes are recognised as an important social occasion, as well as being an important and necessary element in the routine of some Service Users. The Provider will ensure that meals are available to all Service Users on a flexible basis. For example, some Service Users will prefer a hot, lunchtime meal as their choice.
